change mutiple alert settings

Post by clauskc »

Hi,

Have a load of servers where I need to change alert setting, what is the easiest way to do this bulk?
Any way to do this like the bulk modification tool, select services and then make a alert settings change to them all?

This would depend on how these services are configured. If the alerts settings are configured in a service template, that is applied to all these services, then the easiest thing to be to modify the template (make change in one place only). If however, the alerts are configured on a "local" (service) level, then this would overwrite the template, so your best bet would be to use the Bulk Mod tool.
